Chorus: For He is so precious to me, For He is so precious to me; ’Tis heaven below my Redeemer to know, For He is so precious to me. 2 He stood at my heart’s door ’mid sunshine and rain, And patiently waited an entrance to gain; What shame that so long He entreated in vain, For He is so precious to me. (Chorus) 3 I stand on the mountain of blessing at last, No cloud in the heavens a shadow to cast; His smile is upon me, the valley is past, For He is so precious to me. (Chorus) 4 I praise Him because He appointed a place Where some day, thro' faith in His wonderful grace, I know I shall see Him--shall look on His face, For He is so precious to me. (Chorus) Amen.
